On Neal Cassidy’s Ashes
Delicate eyes that blinded blue Rockies, all ashNipples, ribs touched w/my thumb are ashMouth my tongue touched once or twice all ashbony cheeks soft on my belly are Cinder, ashearlobes & eyelids, youthful cock-tip, curly pubisbreast warmth, man palm, high school thigh,baseball biceps arm, asshole anneal’d to silken skin all ashes, all ashes again.
